The USFRA has always awarded high quality fine art
pieces as trophies for its most prestigious speed categories.
These awards have traditionally been for Top Speed of the Meet, Fastest Motorcycle
of the Meet, and Fast Lady of the Meet.
In 2012 the USFRA asked me if I might be able to provide
sculpture, as their previous suppler was no longer available. The pieces you
see below are my humble response to that request.
About the Sculptor
The USFRA mounts these on their own special base, including an engraved plaque
documenting the speed, driver and date information.
I do occassionally have some of these pieces available
as fine art for purchase.

I can assure you of this---The most expensive way to aquire
one of these sculptures is to come to Bonneville and compete to win a free
one!!
